    Food was great. They recommended their special flaming cheese appetizer and it was delicious. The salmon and lamb shank were also delicious. The service was not up to our expectations as there were a lot of staff standing around and our server was too quick to disappear and the appearances in between were spotty. Our expectation would be the staff standing around would be working as a team and this was not the case, not for the price level of this place, we expected better in terms of the service. Compliments to the kitchen, but suggest you get the front of house up to the same level.

    The restaurant is a great option for Italian food. They have a solid menu from known Italian dishes to make your own craft pasta. It feels authentic and fresh when you take a bite. The cocktail menu completes the food that you get from wines to craft cocktails. I tried their limoncello, and it was a great option after having a nice pasta dish.

    There was three of us and each dish was outstanding: eggplant parmigiana, chicken parmigiana and stuffed shells. There was also musical entertainment and they were great. We had a wonderful evening.
